RDF Schema is a set of classes using the RDF extensible knowledge representation language, providing basic elements for the description of ontologies, otherwise called RDF vocabularies, intended to structure RDF resources.

RDF Schema (variously abbreviated as RDFS, RDF(S), RDF-S or RDF/S) is a set of classes with certain properties using the RDF extensible knowledge representation language, providing basic elements for the description of ontologies, otherwise called RDF vocabularies, intended to structure RDF resources. These resources can be saved in a triplestore to reach them with the query language SPARQL.

Composition vs Inheritance in the Semantic Web

A lot of what rdfs provides has an analog in Object Oriented Programming (OOP). For example, rdfs:subClassOf roughly corresponds to the OOP concept of a subclass. In OOP, the mantra of prefer composition over inheritance is popular. In the semantic…

How to transform RDFS to RDFS?

I have two RDF schemas and I need to convert one to another. Is there any transformation language analogue to XSLT just for RDFS? I'm looking for a possible implementation in .NET, but other platforms are welcomed as well.

Domain and range of an RDF property for subclasses instead of instances?

Is there some way to state in RDF/RDFs, that any resource that has a given property is a subclass of a specific class? (or the other case with the object not the subject) rdfs:domain (respectively range) is close to that but the definition of domain…

RDF Class vs Property

I'm new to RDF and am having trouble wrapping my head around the distinction between a regular vanilla class, and explicitly declaring its rdf:type as rdf:property. Everything I can find suggests the main reason revolves around enabling domain and…

Why No Property Type Propagation with rdfs:subPropertyOf?

Suppose I have :hasParent rdfs:subPropertyOf :hasAncestor . :hasAncestor rdf:type owl:TransitiveProperty . This has the satisfying result of inferring all true ancestor relationships given the parentage. But I'm surprised it doesn't have the…
